So, I have this file with 1,314 sequences (file1) and another file with 566 sequences (file2). Each sequence has a proper barcode. What I can't understand is that in file1 the letters following the barcode are (number is count):

The same forward primer 'ACGGGGCGCAGCAGGCGCGA' (the most abundant seq in file1) was used for both files. It's not even present in file2. How can this be? It's as if file2 is barcoded but the primer has been removed or something?

Barcoded files, a lot of variance in supposed primers, help me understand

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...10-30-2026, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
